Today was poetry's big day. More people probably heard Elizabeth Alexander's inaugural poem than have heard any recent piece of verse. The LA Times is first out of the gate with a transcription. Read it here.St Paul's Graywolf Press will publish the poem in a chapbook next month.
The Utne Reader's "Great Writing" blog has a nice summary of Alexander's work and career, including links to her poetry, reviews, and recent interviews.--David E
